GP 1257 has a new home :)

It finally happened. MINI GP 1257 is in my garage. I've wanted this car since it was introduced and I just needed to share my new ride. All original with no modifications. 21000 miles. So stoked. Thanks for looking.

How exciting!! Is the number 1257 the production number? I know there were only a certain amount made. Congrats! Someone in my local MINI club has a GP as well. Pretty cool to see.

Their were 2000 GP units made worldwide. The GP number was more of an identification number and were not sequencial. They were selected randomly.

Congrats on your purchase. I got mine in April this year and could not be happier. Mine was unmodded as well...... except for a strut tower brace and RMW Tune! This car is the best MINI ever made IMO. I can't wait to buy my wife the JCW Coupe for her next car and see how they compare.

Looks great, but I didn't have to tell you that since it's unmolested. Let me know through PM when you want to sell it. haha
